    Why don't you give exact delivery time?

    Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

    Long description:

    First published in 1977, The Function of the Fool is a poetic exploration of the fool's role in literature and society, showcasing Stuart Evans' wit, insight, and lyrical mastery. The collection, blending conventional and improvised forms, is divided into five sections: an affectionately satirical look at contemporary England; a descriptive reflection on literary and historical pleasures; a probing inquiry into the relevance of art in a perilous world; a lyrical, personal segment; and a long, intricately structured poem on religious doubt and philosophical uncertainty. A must-read for students of English literature.
